also another problem. the resulting theme will depend on how much the host rsvg
lib can handle and what it does and does not render correctly from the svg
file. of course often this is due to inkscape using extensions of its own...
but the point still stands. someone can't be guaranteed the same .edj file
contents because system will alter it as at edje_cc the svg is rendered to a
bitmap by librsvg.

having more png data in the tree is no harm. the text format is irrelevant as
no one will be DIFFING the svg to figure stuff out. it's a visual thing - the
svg is not hand edited. it's generated by a tool. treat it as a visual thing.
you want visual diffs. text is not relevant as it's not hand edited. :)

by doing so you set up our build to produce a different theme on different
systems. :)

last time i tried, masking i think combined with clipping and blur did this.
these are not strange filters. they are really common/basic. :) these are
incredibly useful and having to avoid them is seriously a bit pain.
